Larabars!!
Sometimes a recipe can be so easy that it seems ridiculous that we buy the same item pre-made from the store. Take, for example, the larabar. This bar is a true favorite of CrossFitters - the ingredients are pure and simple: usually made up of fruit and nuts along with spices like cinnamon or ginger, they contain healthy fats and protein. To make the bars, you will need a food processor and your imagination. One of our favorites is the combination of macadamia nuts, unsweetened coconut and pitted dates. Just grab about a cup full of each of the ingredients and throw them in the processor and start chopping! The final consistency should be gooey enough that the ingredients stick together to form the bar. (We load them into cupcake pans so they can travel in school lunchboxes easily.) These babies are perfect for post-WOD nutrition and they don't need any refrigeration.

Nice work on the Larabars! Lemon and ginger are both great additions as it really cuts the sweetness.

OHS: 95/115/130 (PR) - split jerking it overhead helped a lot.
Erin, Carol & I did a different workout. We did one of the ‘08 Games workouts, 5 rounds: 5 DL 185, 10 burpees. 4:44. 3 seconds off my PR. Still pleased.
